Workshop Description:

Anxiety destroys the normal enjoyment of life through the fear, worry, obsessive thinking and avoidant behavior that anxious people experience. Simple activities like going to the grocery store, taking a child to her first day of school, or meeting a friend for lunch trigger a barrage of frantic “what ifs”. This workshop will explore the subtleties of working with this pervasive category of disorders that affects an estimated 20% of the population. The workshop will also focus on the effect that uncontrolled anxiety has on intimate relationships.The presenter will introduce a powerful, integrative therapy model that combines:CBT, Hypnosis, and Mindfulness .

Using this integrative therapy model, workshop participants will learn practical interventions that are applicable to the treatment of panic, generalized anxiety disorder, phobias, social anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. A unique feature of this presentation is the four-part intervention developed by Dr. Daitch that integrates mindfulness, cognitive and hypnotic approaches. These tools work together to help clients feel more empowered when flooded with anxiety.

There will be a Q&A session at the end of the webinar where attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions. A PowerPoint document will be shared. A facilitator will moderate specific questions to reach outcome goals.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this intermediate-level webinar participants will be able to:

1. Articulate the rationale for combining hypnosis with CBT in the management of anxiety disorders.

2. Describe two hypnotic techniques that can be integrated with CBT for the treatment of each sub-type of anxiety disorder.

3. Identify two interventions that can help clients observe somatic manifestations of anxiety with less reactivity.
